"Light and Shadows"
Image was taken in Arrecife, Lanzarote in November light. The image was interesting in colour but making the image monochromatic gave the image a more dramatic feel.
"Supporting Shoulder"
Image taken in November sunlight in Valencia, Spain. The woman using her stick in her left hand and using her partner's shoulder for support was quite touching. The contrasting light and shadow made exposure quite difficult.
"Blackford Pond"
A composition of 3 images of Blackford Pond, developed in Photoshop and using a filter from the Distressed FX app.

Joyce Aranuwa
“The Inhabited Mirror”
Rooted in folk beliefs from coastal Fujian, China—where spirits are believed to inhabit mirrors after bodily disappearance—The Inhabited Mirror examines how belief functions as a cultural structure through which identity is transmitted rather than preserved.
The mirror is not treated as a reflective surface, but as a threshold that allows identity to pass between presence and absence. The suspended face remains unresolved and unclaimed, resisting attachment to a single body or lifetime. In this space, identity does not belong to the individual, but circulates through shared belief and repeated modes of recognition.
By foregrounding belief as an active system, the work considers how identity continues to operate beyond physical life—not by remaining intact, but by being continually re-formed through cultural practice and visual encounter.

Marcel van Beek
Marcel van Beek is a fine-art photographer whose work explores the intersection of reality and imagination. Deeply influenced by the Pictorialist movement of the late 19th century, van Beek utilises light and atmosphere to create 'visual narratives' that transcend traditional documentation.
